Question

which of the following are two ways temperature inversions form?
□ albedo
□ eccentricity
□ topography
□ precession
□ wind

Explanation:

1. Topography: Valley temperature inversions form when cold, dense air sinks into low-lying valleys overnight, trapping warmer air above it.
2. Wind: Subsidence inversions form when warm, dry air sinks down from upper atmospheric levels due to high pressure systems (wind-driven downward motion), compressing and warming as it sinks above cooler surface air.

Albedo is surface reflectivity, eccentricity is Earth's orbital shape, and precession is Earth's axial wobble, none of which directly create temperature inversions.

Answer:

C. topography, E. wind
